[BLUEJ-497] Compiler error messages do not appear in screen reader
In BlueJ, compiler error messages are shown in the info display at the bottom of the editor window. If you are using BlueJ via a screen-reader, they are impossible to read: you can't focus on the info panel, and when they appear they don't trigger the screen reader.
I think a suitable fix is to display the messages in a pop-up dialog (configurable via a setting). Although this might usually be thought irritating for most users, I think when you are using a screen-reader this is a reasonable solution (it pops up, reads the error message to you, then you hit space/enter to dismiss it and return to editing).
